Scythe I mentioned in our last post that there was only one more hurdle for us to clear before we were able to face Illidan himself. The Illidari Council is a group of 4 nasty Blood Elves guarding the doors to Illidan himself.
They make for an interesting fight. Think High King Maulgar coupled with the Twin Emperors and then throw in a sprinkling of Kael’thas. There’s a lot to keep track of and the potential for some very nasty burst damage that can insta-gib nearly anyone. The mobs also share a health pool (ala Twin Emperors), so the fight takes a long time as you slowly whittle them all down. It’s a well designed encounter in which everyone has a very specific job to do and I, for one, really enjoyed it.
We had our first chance to work on them last week after downing Mother Shahraz, then came back tonight at the tail end of a pretty slow week and got back to work on them. As usual, we tweaked and adjusted our tactics and made consistant progress as the night went on. Finally, to the surprise of no one reading this, we took them out on a nearly flawless last attempt of the night.

Normally I’d end the post right there, but I can’t leave out a nice teaser picture of us listening to Uncle Illidan tell us a story…
